Chapter 124 is really cowardly.
Originally, the mother-in-law treated all her grandsons equally; whatever the eldest and second grandsons had, her youngest grandson would have too. But now, she's starting to favor the second grandson's family!
Indeed, the more sons a woman has, the higher her status will be in her husband's family!
May God bless her so that every child she has will be a boy, and ideally she'll have two within three years, then she can stand on top of the second child's family.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law who had no sons, Li Chunhua never took her seriously.
Just then, she saw Zhao Mei secretly give half a piece of sponge cake to Erni, which made her even more disdainful.
Treating a money-losing product like a treasure, it would be strange if it could produce a son!
Da Ni, who was carefully munching on her sponge cake, noticed this and handed over the last bit, whispering, "Mom, you eat it."
She saw that her mother hadn't eaten a single bite; she had given it all to Erni.
But she didn't feel jealous, because Erni had been starving all day and hadn't been able to eat wild boar meat yet.
Zhao Mei naturally wouldn't accept her daughter's food, and gently pushed it back: "Mom has eaten, you eat it yourself."
At this moment, Chen Jiandang silently gave half of his food to his wife.
Zhao Mei smiled, took the cake, and ate it, finding the sponge cake even tastier than meat.
Ma Xiulian pretended not to see her eldest daughter's little tricks and happily ate the lion's head meatballs that her little granddaughter had specially saved for her.
This meal included braised pork meatballs, and I ate until I was stuffed, which was rare for me. So I sat in the courtyard to digest and weave straw sandals along the way.
These days, cloth shoes aren't cheap, and rural people wear out their shoes while working, so except for a few months when their feet get really cold, they wear straw sandals made of dry rice straw.
Helian Jiao nestled beside her grandmother and watched as her grandmother skillfully wove a shoe out of dry straw. She then said in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandma, I want to wear straw shoes too."
Everyone in the family wore straw sandals, but she never did.
Hearing the longing in her childish voice, Ma Xiulian coaxed, "Straw sandals rub against your feet, and children's skin is too delicate to wear them. Next time Grandma goes to town to buy cloth, she'll make you two new pairs of shoes, okay?"
The straw sandals not only rubbed against her feet, but the soles were also very soft, making it painful to step on pebbles. She couldn't bear to let her precious child suffer like that.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei, who was also sitting in the courtyard weaving straw sandals, subconsciously looked at the straw sandals that Si Ni was wearing, and for some reason felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Sisi is only two months older than Guaibao, but she started wearing straw sandals last summer. Her delicate little feet were bled from the friction in the first few days.
Although she felt sorry for them, she was helpless because everyone had gone through this, and they got used to it after a while.
This habit doesn't mean that straw sandals no longer rub your feet, but rather that the skin on your feet becomes rough from the friction, so you can no longer feel the prickling sensation.
But now her mother-in-law says her little niece's skin is too delicate to wear straw sandals, which really upsets her.
When Zhou Zhaodi saw her staring blankly at the straw sandals on Si Ni's feet, with a sorrowful expression on her face, she thought to herself, "Could my sister-in-law be going to make the same mistake as Li Chunhua?"
So he quickly nudged her arm with the handrail next to her and said, "Sister-in-law, go to the kitchen and boil some water so you can take a bath later."
"good."
Zhao Mei snapped out of her daze, put down the straw sandals she was half-weaving, and headed to the kitchen.
Hearing this, Li Chunhua, who was weaving straw sandals in the main room, muttered with a pout, "Sister-in-law is really a coward, actually being bossed around by Zhou Zhaodi."
They completely forgot that she usually pushed all the dirty and tiring work onto Zhao Meigan in order to avoid being lazy.
